Where on earth are you getting this from?

Galton was a eugenicist who thought intelligence was baked into one’s bloodline, Spearman’s entire career was that the g-factor was a relatively immutable cross-domain constant, Binet was measuring skulls phrenology style, etc.

Vibe coding, in the sense of telling the model to make codebase changes, then directly using the output produced, is 100% marketing bullshit that does not scale beyond toy examples.

Here’s the rub: Claude is extremely useful as an advanced autocomplete, if and only if you’re guiding it architecturally through every task it runs, and you vet + revise the output yourself between iterations. You cannot effectively pilot entirely from chat in a mature codebase, and you must compile robust documentation and instructions for Claude to know how to work with your codebase.

You also must aggressively manage information in the context window yourself and keep it clean. You mentioned going in circles trying to get the robot to correct itself: huge mistake. Rewind to before the error, and give it better instructions to steer it away from the pitfall it fell into. Same vein, you also need to reset ASAP after pushing into the >100k token mark, because the models start melting into putty soon after (yes, even the “extended” 1M-window ones).

I’m someone who has massively benefited from using modern LLMs in my work, but I’m also a massive hater at the same time: They’re just a tool, not magic, and have to be used with great care and attention to get reasonable results. You absolutely cannot delegate your thinking to them, because it will bite you, hard and fast.

For your use case (3D math), what I recommend is decomposing your end goal into a series of pure functions that you’ll string together. Once you have that list, that’s where Claude comes in. Have it stub those functions for you, then have it implement them one at a time, reviewing the output of every one before proceeding.

What are you basing that on?

The linked article roundly suggests that the protestors in question are staunchly anti-war and largely a non-zionist cohort.

From the outset, we protested because the consequences of this unlawful war were clear. It threatened to ignite a regional conflict that would claim countless civilian lives across the Middle East. To us, its stated objectives echoed past catastrophic Western attempts at regime change that produced nothing but prolonged instability and devastation.

Prominent figures of the Zionist left like Yair Golan, and members of anti-government protest groups like “Brothers and Sisters in Arms” (who previously declared their refusal to show up for reserve duty in protest of Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul) failed to show up for a simple reason: They do not oppose the war. The sobering reality is that, beyond a handful of Palestinian and non-Zionist Jewish MKs, there is no genuine parliamentary opposition to the war.

Honestly, I’m all for it and wish the dems had been doing it even more.

It’s not about success at this point; it’s about making it resolutely clear through the voting record which members of congress are seditious traitors abrogating their oath of office. Makes it much easier for the Nuremburg II lawyers, in other words, if/when a future reckoning happens.

Technically that’s a bootsplash, which also works better for branding purposes.

Y’all sleeping on black soldier flies.

They’re copycats that look like mud daubbers, but have no ability to sting or bite. They don’t readily transmit human diseases, and they compete with noxious species like house flies and roaches. Present in most places across the globe.

Their larvae are the most-efficient known converts of input biomass to output protein, they can compost most household foods quite easily, and they’re an excellent animal feed.

He addresses that directly FWIW

Ramirez, who is of Cuban heritage and worked as an anchor on Sinclair’s national evening newscast, said his instinct to go public was a professional reflex. “Journalism is a vocation, not just a job,” he told the Blade. “The Kennedy Center is a federally funded cultural institution, and being questioned about speech related to the president in that setting felt like something the public should know about.”

He said the presence of the White House press pool made clear the appearance was a managed media moment. “It was very clearly about protection — whether protecting the president from visible dissent, or his image before the media present. There was no disruption. Simply expressing dissent in a public, cultural space drew the attention of security.”

Anyone able to speak more to the material? I’ve never seen stucco used like this and I’m intrigued.

By far the most popular and prolific flat earther

Honestly tragic to find out this wasn’t an ironic Jon Lajoie post.

Obligatory shoutout to the anime Vinland Saga, which explores the Christianization of viking culture as one of its main themes, and has an absurd amount of effort on display in terms of historical accuracy.

My dude, you’ve fallen for a cult of personality.

I just refreshed my memory from the KYM dogtober page and both those people are mentioned once, offhand. What else would I know them from?

I did see a video of Hasan dragging his other dog by the tail and yanking it around. Did those other streamers make him do that?

Seconding draw.io as the swiss-army-knife that’ll do this and more…

But honorable mention to graphviz if you want dead-simple, low-friction charts: https://zackees.github.io/webgraphviz/

You’re totally on the money with your core thesis about epidemiological studies here, and I agree processed meats as a standalone variable are likely a massively overplayed factor in CRC research.

When it comes to the more general claims in the GP comment though, re: processed food and low fiber, there are literally hundreds of independent studies at different levels all pointing in similar directions. It’s pretty incontrovertible at this point.

See any recent review on CRC etiology for reference, e.g.: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Elroy-Weledji/publication/377724506_Clinics_in_Oncology_The_Etiology_and_Pathogenesis_of_Colorectal_Cancer_OPEN_ACCESS/links/65b3f83e79007454973be66e/Clinics-in-Oncology-The-Etiology-and-Pathogenesis-of-Colorectal-Cancer-OPEN-ACCESS.pdf

I haven’t done any real labwork in about a decade, so probably a dumb question, but wouldn’t repeat distillation be a viable option for a control like that? Or are you suggesting the gloves might’ve been the culprit?

I know you’ll always get some nanoplastics carried over through aerosol droplets able to survive, but I’d naively expect you could still get a few orders of magnitude cleaner than the ordinary DI tap.
